| Message | UNPATRIOTIC SCOUNDRELS GUT KAZULIANISK! In an unbelievable show of cowardice legislation was passed today which will make Kazuliana the butt of military jokes the world over. Seizing a moment in which two parties were absent, the KSP and its bloodless associates the KLP and Northern Light parties passed legislation effectively scrapping all NBC military options and making the country vulnerable to aggressive, psychopathic dictators from one end of the globe to the other. "I just can't believe it," said Destiny Party spokesman Will E. Makitwerk, "Now every tinpot wannabe from Cobura to Trigunia will be plotting to take over Kazulianisk Kungariket. Why would anybody but collaborators do such a thing to our national security? Our friends in the HAM and FP attempted to stall this motion, but without the backing of the SV and RF we were not able - more shame on them for being off playing golf when they ought to have been doing what they are paid to do: protect Kazuliana! Hopefully the upcoming elections will bring a change in government and we can begin to rebuild." |

| Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |

The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." - Dwight D. Eisenhower |
